PHASR for AI agents
PHASR for AI Agents requires both PHASR and AI Visibility and Control. Its availability depends on the company’s license configuration:
License configuration | Available PHASR capabilities |
Eligible base license + AI Visibility and Control + PHASR add-on | PHASR for endpoints and PHASR for AI agents |
PHASR Standalone + AI Visibility and Control | PHASR for endpoints and PHASR for AI agents |
Eligible base license + AI Visibility and Control, without the PHASR add-on | PHASR is not available |
Eligible base license + PHASR add-on, without AI Visibility and Control | PHASR for endpoints only |
Licensing makes the AI-agent functionality available to the company but does not enable it automatically. You must enable AI Agents separately for each PHASR activity type in the applicable security policy.
